RUNAWAY did make it into the cinemas, I recall seeing it at a local with a few friends.. It was an above average film, made better to me as it was the first film I'd seen after the awful 'LIFEFORCE' which I slagged off a few months ago. It concerns good guy Tom Selleck against bad guy Gene Simmons (KISS) who is likely to get typecast as Mr Boo..Hiss.. evil looking guy. (Turn It Up!) Gene has a nasty gun that fires heat seeking missiles, or person seeking which only Tom Selleck seems able to avoid. He also designs chips which turn domestic robot appliances into killing machines! Gene's tongue does not make an appearance. ANYWAY... - - - ->)===- buzz..buzz..buzz..BOOM! Gene gets killed by his own creations and then makes half the audience jump out of their seats (Why do they always put bits like this in films?). Kirstie Alley (S.T. II Saavik) turns up and is killed in a nasty way. Tom Selleck has his face washed with a highly corrosive acid ,but obviously not for long enough,it still looks the same:-). THAT WAS WORTH SEEING! (sorry...) Also I hope that the *spoiler* warning was justified (whatever it means). Andy T.
